Whaddaya Think: Use the Leftover Rotelli Earl.......
..........on a Corvette with solid roller cam. I have one other car at the moment, which is a Coyote motor Mustang GT which uses 5W-20 Castrolli GTX.
The Corvette takes some time to warm the oil because of some mods that were done to the engine bloke, and the regulated highest temp is adjustable from 190 to 240 degrees Fahrenheit (NOTE: see below re:removing flounders), depending on ambient air and the number of roof shingles or flounders I put IFO the Setrab stacked plate earl cooler.
No plans for the forseeable future to ever run another car with flat tappers.
PS: The faster I go on the highway, the higher the earl temp rises, so, say I'm going steady 85 MPH on a 75 degree Fahrenheit day, the earl temp will stabilize at around 190 degrees Fahrenheit. If I go steady 100 MPH on a 75 degree, Fahrenheit, day then the earl temp will stabilize at about 210 degrees. If I go a steady 120 MPH on a 75 degree Fahrenheit day then the earl temp stabilizes at around 220 degrees. I have gone a steady 150 MPH and the earl temp stabilizes at around 240 degrees, Fahrenheit. The earl cooler is somewhat oversized and these results are with a few FLOUNDERS partially covering the FINS of the earl cooler. I can easily remove a flounder or two to get more cooling ability, although I am limited by altimeter not currently in proper operating order, the flight attendant who is on vacation, and my limited supply of terlet paper. Results can be duplicated up to 110 degrees, Fahrenheit ambient by realigning the baseline by removing some flounders.

Well, I just looked in my secret stash and guess what I found? That's right, a few cans of that there Brad PITT earl. That should solve the whole problem of dissimilar molecules and titration in a suspension of colloids at the triple point. So by mixing the two I will come up with Avogadro's number. Don't worry.............I checked it with SWC Duke, MikeM, Critter, and Bhulderman.

No, really! It's mighty good eatin'. The flounders cook real good on the SETRAB, except for the occasional cricket, grasshopper, horsefly and wasp, but hey, you can't have everything. It's all good protean and if yer allergic youse can just brush off the bugs first.
